those of us living in california start at a disadvantage to everyone else.  our fuel is crap.  in three cross county trips (two in a tC and one in twin turbo supra), fuel mileage increased significantly after we had departed california burned through a couple more tanks to clean it all out.  60ish miles per tank better.  watching a tC pull 440 miles on a tank was fantastic.  around here, we would have been lucky to see 375.
my wife is the primary driver of our xB.  she is about a 95% city driver.  we are mere blocks from her work, daycare, etc, and she hasnt logged but maybe 3200 miles since she got it in june.  she is an easy driver, and while i havent been the one to put gas in the car yet to do the calculation, the mpg counter shows her at 25.6 last time i looked.  she is within the sticker range, pretty much in the middle of it, and pulls that off with virtually zero highway mileage.

I'm getting 26-27.0 on my computer's mpg.

That's driving up and down a mountain for most of the miles, so I consider it pretty good.

lmao, see.... I'm just not that motivated   ;-)

I'm curious what type of gas most people are using in their xB? Regular or Premium?

91 Oct w/ 10% ethanol worse gas mileage but at 15 cents cheeper per gallon I still save after the lost of mpg.

I average 2 - 2.5 miles per gallon better when using 87 oct. no ethanol

Ditto on the 26 to 27 MPG, That's on 87 octane with 10% ethanol in Illinois. My mileage has been consistent since hitting 5k, all the way up the the 18k currently on the odometer.
